Designed high voltage board modification for Q-switching on Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation II, a proposed mission aboard the International Space Station. The GEDI mission tracks deforestation using LIDAR.Work was a mix of electrical and high voltage electrical packaging for space. Learned schematic capture and PWB layout in Altium Designer, and high voltage packaging in Fusion 360. Repaired 2 Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ 3D printers. Wrote technical manual for future repair… Show more Designed high voltage board modification for Q-switching on Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation II, a proposed mission aboard the International Space Station.
